OUR LATEST POLL

If the Senate meets its promise of presenting a new six-year highway bill by the end of 2010 and there is still a question mark as to how to fully fund the measure, do you think Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) will stage another filibuster? The lawmaker threatened another delay if he felt Washington was not being fiscally responsible.

	Yes, if he had the audacity to hold Congress hostage over the latest funding extension he will do so again.

	No, I think Bunning took a lot of heat following the last filibuster.

	I do not think the Senate will bring the new highway bill to a vote before 2010 ends.
